Episode 016
Dong Yuan entered the inner room, and the faint fragrance of plum blossom hits people.In the corner of the wall was the same plate of red plums from last time. The dark brown twigs were in full bloom, and they looked down upon the severe cold.

Baojin took two little maids to clean the broken porcelain on the floor, and a light ink flower bloomed on the bluestone brick floor, which was very charming.

Baolu took a bone china teacup painted with gold again, and made tea for the old lady.

The old lady closed her eyes and snuggled up to the brocade Diancui Wanshouwujiang Yinzhu, looking very tired.She wore a peacock-blue sea house embroidered collared long jacket, a dark blue eight-treasure skirt woven with golden blessings secretly, a piece of agarwood inlaid with beads and emerald tourmaline hairpin was inserted obliquely on her temples, and she wore gold-plated dots of emerald emerald inlaid with snow rice beads on her forehead. The bat pattern hid her eyebrows, and when she closed her eyes, her face was very pale, even the pearls and jade silk could not hide her frailty and oldness.

Dong Yuan looked carefully, only to find that there were a few strands of snow on the old lady's temples, as if it had popped out overnight, adding to her old age.Seeing grandma like this, thinking of Xue Dongwan again, Dong Yuan's eyelashes wet.

Baolu made the tea, put it on the kang table in front of the old lady, and said softly: "Old lady, drink tea..."

The old lady opened her eyes slightly, and saw Dong Yuan wearing a lotus-colored plum-patterned collared jacket, her eyes softened immediately, and she smiled kindly: "Sister Yuan is here? Come, sit beside grandma..."

Dong Yuan obeyed and sat beside the old lady.

"Grandmother, have you not slept since last night? You don't look energetic..." Dong Yuan asked the old lady worriedly, his eyes were soaked with crystal tears, becoming more beautiful and charming, and the eyes had a breathtaking brilliance.

The old lady liked it when she saw it, she added a smile to her face, and nodded calmly: "Grandmother is getting old, it's rare to have a good night's sleep. She can't sleep well when lying down, and it also delays her dozing off at night, so she simply doesn't want to sleep... ..." Then he asked Dong Yuan what he had for lunch.

Dong Yuan said one by one.

The old lady asked her again why she came here, now is not the time for morning and evening.

Dong Yuan forced a sweet and lovely smile: "I went to the Yuanfeng Pavilion of my aunt. My aunt said to come to see my grandmother, so I came with her."

"Go to Yuanfeng Pavilion?" The old lady was infected by her smile and laughed too.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that sister Wan had gone, but they wanted to pretend nothing had happened, and it was better to smile than slump.

Dong Yuan hummed, then laughed again: "I think it's almost Chinese New Year, my aunt has a lot of things to do, and next spring she will be even more busy. I have some things in my house, so I'll tell her in advance, so as not to add trouble to my aunt's busy schedule."

The old lady's expression was much more relaxed than before, she smiled a little more naturally, and asked her what was the matter.

"The matter of the two sisters, Ju Hong and Ju Xiang..." Dong Yuan said, "Sister Ju Hong has turned eighteen, and sister Ju Xiang will also turn eighteen in February next year. Our family rules should be released. The two sisters It was rewarded by my grandmother. I should have asked my grandmother first, but I wondered whether my aunt was in charge of the house, or I should report to her first and then tell you. My aunt also said, ask what you mean, and we will come together... ..."

The smile in the eyes of the old lady became more and more intense, and she was even a little surprised.

The child actually thought of her together.

"That's the reason..." The old lady smiled, "Our family doesn't have a rule of keeping maids as old maids, so we can let them go."

According to the current laws and morals, all maids in the family must be released to be married before they are 25 years old.In order to show their virtues, many prominent clans with hairpin tassels in Shengjing began to release maidservants when they arrived, and rarely kept them until they were 25 years old.

"What did your aunt say?" The old lady asked Dong Yuan again with a smile.

Dong Yuan was about to answer when Dong Cijian's Baojin called out to the inner room, "Mrs. Shizi is here." After saying that, he lifted the felt curtain for Rong himself.

Seeing that the old lady was not as cold and strict as before, Mrs. Rong returned to her usual kindness and kindness, her smile became more calm and gentle, and she saluted the old lady.

The old lady asked her to sit on the kang, and Baolu served her tea.

"Sister Yuan and I were talking about you, and you came..." The old lady smiled kindly, without any hint of sadness.

But the Rong family knew that the old lady was the most able to withstand the turmoil in her life.No matter how calm the surface was, the old lady was still extremely saddened by the death of Sister Wan, otherwise she would not have treated Yang like that.

She tried her best to talk about happy things to make the old lady laugh.

"What are you and Sister Yuan doing behind my back?" Rong said with a sweet smile, and sat across from the old lady.

The old lady laughed, and told Mrs. Rong what Dong Yuan told her.Then he asked Rong Shi how he planned to deal with the matter of Orange Red and Orange Fragrance.

"Mother gave it to Sister Yuan. Sister Yuan ran to ask me how to release it. I was in a dilemma. The people in my mother's house, I dare not make decisions, so I brought Sister Yuan to ask mother to show me..." Rong said with a smile, looked at Xue Dongyuan, and sighed in her heart for the intelligence of this little girl.

The housekeeper's match is in Rong's hands, even if the old lady made the decision, it still has to be carried out through Rong's.I went directly to tell Rong Shi, and respected her as the head of the family; the servant girl took the monthly regulations from the old lady's house, and Rong Shi would definitely respect the old lady and come to ask the old lady's wishes.

It was the old lady who made up her mind in the end, and it was no different from Xue Dongyuan telling the old lady directly.

But Xue Dongyuan gave Rong Shi respect and dignity by making a detour like this, so he would not offend Rong Shi.

Rong couldn't help but look at Dong Yuan again, she deserves the old lady's favor.When Rong Shi was her age, he was not so shrewd in all aspects.

"You are the one who owns this family, why can't you be the master?" The old lady laughed, and the evil spirit just now disappeared from her brows.

Rong Shi took advantage of the situation and said: "Then mother will hurt me once, give me an idea!"

Dong Yuan pursed his lips and smiled.

The old lady also laughed, she pondered for a while, but turned to look at Dong Yuan: "Sister Yuan, do you have a good idea?"

If it was normal, Dong Yuan would never stand out.But this matter is related to the future of Juhongjuxiang, and she can no longer let it go.These two servant girls have accompanied her loyally for the past five years like older sisters, and Dong Yuan has feelings for them.

"I began to think that the two sisters would be released, and I discussed it with Luo's mother. The two sisters came from the grandmother's house to mine because they were wronged. They have served me so hard for so many years. I also think they have A good future. Luo’s mother said that her uncle’s family has two twin nephews who live in our village and who will be nineteen next year, and they haven’t said anything about their marriage…” Dong Yuan said while thinking about the relationship between the old lady and the Rong family. Seeing that they didn't frown, I knew what I said was right, and I became more courageous, and the more I spoke, the smoother I said, "Mother Luo's man is also on Zhuangzi. She said that if the two sisters can marry into their family, She also wants to go out and let her daughter come in to see the world..."

Hearing Dong Yuan's words, Rong Shi was a little confused at first: marrying into Zhuangzi, what kind of good future is it?

Then I suddenly realized that in the future, I can choose a companion room from Zhuangzi!
With the status of accompanying room, it is naturally different.A shrewd and prudent person like Xue Dongyuan would be satisfied with her unless she is an unfazed mother-in-law; and with Tiancheng's charming appearance, her husband will not treat her too badly, her companion may have a bright future in the future.

Rong's heart couldn't help adding a little weight to this niece.

The old lady stared at Dong Yuan with her pupils flickering, her expression was inexplicable.

Rong was slightly stunned, it's rare that the old lady disagrees with Dong Yuan's idea?

After a while, I heard the old lady's laughter.

This laughter is a satisfaction from the bottom of my heart, happy and proud.

Rong's heart is determined, it seems that what Sister Yuan said hits the old lady's mind.She was the first to express her opinion: "Mother, our sister Yuan is by your side, and she has learned a bit of mother's style in how she behaves and speaks. I heard that this idea is very good, what do you think?"

"Okay, you also think it's good, just do as Sister Yuan said." The old lady hugged Dong Yuan in her arms with a smile, and said to Rong with a smile, "This child is a roundworm in my stomach. I think I know everything!"

Although Rong was puzzled, he still smiled.

"Sister Yuan is getting older, mother Luo wants to go out, so let her go out." The old lady said again, "When she goes out, let her daughter serve in Sister Yuan's room."

Then as if thinking of something, he said to Rong Shi and Dong Yuan: "I saw a good child, and I plan to give it to Sister Yuan. When the orange fragrance and orange red are released next year, her house will not be messed up."

Then he called Mother Zhan and asked her to bring Qiangwei in.
